Amberly Residents Center opens it’s doors

Amberly Residents Center Pool
The Amberly Residents center hosted an open house today. We were able to tour the facility to get a preview of what residents can expect. It was absolutely gorgeous, and follows suit to the Amberly community philosophy. I was really impressed with the outdoor amenities, as well as all of the indoor activity facilities. As you can see from the photos, there are two large pools. One is your standard Jr. Olympic lap pool with several lanes and large adult wading section off to the side. The second pool is a kid’s (and some adults too) dream. It has huge slides, a play structure, and an island in the middle to jump in from. There is a also a good sized outdoor play structure with swings, and a small soccer field (football pitch for you enthusiasts). Moving inside, there is the standard fitness area, with customary aerobic equipment and weights, but Amberly has stepped it up a notch. They have also included a full gymnasium, with several basketball courts, including the painted lines on a hardwood court. For the not so athletic type, or those who just want to chill out, the have several nice features for different age levels, from a nicely appointed lounge with flat panel TV and a warming kitchen to a Teen’s lounge that features movies and a pool table. They also have a separate room for younger children, with supervised activities (translated childcare) while the parents enjoy the club’s other amenities. To wrap it up, I am very impressed with the thought (and expense) that Amberly has put into their Resident’s Center. It is truly an asset to existing residents, and a great selling point for prospective residents. Click here for more Amberly photos.
